Receiving a Fax
tinit is used to start either modem
provided by QNX, or fax provided with softFax.
Example: tinit -c "modem -F 919-544-8970" -T /dev/ser2
Example: tinit -c "fax -a" -T /dev/ser2
The modem program only supports class 2 modems. If you have class 2.0
and want to use modem, contact us for an updated modem program. The
fax program can support class 2.0 as well as class 2 modems.
- If you use the modem program, you must use option -F local faxID
phone number; otherwise, the modem will not answer as a fax modem. And make
sure fax or other program for receiving fax is in PATH or use option -f
fax path.
- If you use the fax program, you must use option -a for direct answer.
- Using option -T is prefered to using option -t. If you use -t, sending is
delayed until the receiving fax times out.
